Chapter 459

The emperor asked Liang Xiao to participate in the trial of Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen, but Liang Xiao refused without hesitation.

His reasons are weird.One is that I don’t have time. I’m busy with my marriage and I don’t have time to deal with these things.The second is not interested.My conflicts with Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen have been resolved in Balingyi.For now, I'm the winner with no revenge.Besides, if I want to get revenge, I will do it myself, simply and neatly, there is no need to use this method to talk to him and waste time.

The emperor didn't force Liang Xiao any more.He suggested that Liang Xiao participate in the trial of this case, not only to give Liang Xiao a chance to vent his anger, but also to see how Liang Xiao would handle it, to see if there was any sign of him cooperating with Tian Fu.It's okay to deal with Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen, but it's unacceptable to have something to do with foreign ministers.

He was very satisfied with Liang Xiao's reaction, and it was also in line with Liang Xiao's rough personality.The emperor was relieved and let Liang Xiao take a long vacation and asked him to go back to prepare for the wedding. After the arrangements were made, just inform him of the time.He, the officiant, will be there on time.

Liang Xiao thanked him again and again, and left Weiyang Palace contentedly.He knew that even if Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen did not die, they would lose their skin.Put shit on the face of the emperor, they have nine heads that are not enough to chop off.He has no sympathy for Yan and Zhu.Not to mention there is conflict between them, even if there is no conflict, he doesn't have a good impression of these two people.

For the sake of their own wealth and honor, they abandoned principles and only obeyed the emperor's order. What kind of scholars are they, and what is the difference between them and Zhang Tang and others they look down on?
Liang Xiao returned home and continued to prepare for the wedding.While he was busy with these major tasks, he did not forget his plan to grow vegetables, so he asked someone to take out those seeds, opened a few plots of land in Maoling's manor, and planted them.

On this day, when he was checking the germination of the seeds in the field, Wei Qing and Zheng Er came.

"Zhongqing?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "Why did you come here, can't you talk at home if you have something to do?"

Wei Qing was very embarrassed. "I'm afraid of being kicked out by you."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. "Why should I bombard you, because of merit?"

Wei Qing nodded, and was about to speak when Liang Xiao stopped him. "Okay, I know this is not your problem, and you don't need to blame yourself. Let's expose this matter, and you don't need to mention it again. Tell me, come to me, what else can you do?"

Wei Qing was a little confused.He thought about all the way to explain, but Liang Xiao didn't listen to a word and just exposed the matter.He didn't even know what to say next.Seeing Liang Xiao, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.In history, he had the strength of a famous general, but was burdened by the reputation of his relatives.Now, his opportunity was robbed by himself, and he felt guilty instead.

It's me who should be guilty.

"By the way, when are you going to do your business?"

"I'm here today to discuss with senior brother." Zheng Er came over to rescue Wei Qing. "Your wedding preparations are known all over the city. Are we going to do it well or not?"

Liang Xiao turned his head, looked at Zheng Er, and grinned. "Have you had a lot of contact with Lord Weng recently?"

Zheng Er pretended not to understand. "Brother, what did you say?"

"Are you still pretending to be me?" Liang Xiao pinched the tip of Zheng Er's nose. "In this kind of matter, you don't go to the master to make decisions for you, you don't go to your own brother, but you come to me because you are afraid that I have something in your heart? Don't worry, I am not so narrow-minded."

"I knew that brother is not that kind of person." Zheng Er jumped up, his eyebrows beaming.

Wei Qing was startled, and quickly pressed Zheng Er's shoulder. "Be careful, you are pregnant."

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.This Zheng Er is a bastard, no matter how many children she has, she is still the same as when she first saw her.If she wanted to cultivate like Liu Ling, she could only count on her next life.

"Get down to business." Liang Xiao waved his hand, interrupting the rhythm of Wei Qing and Zheng Er. "You should be the first to do it. When I start to do it, you may not even be able to invite guests. Besides, before I get married, I will be your best man."

Zheng Er twitched and said: "That's so embarrassing, how dare I take the lead of senior brother?"

Liang Xiao said unceremoniously: "Your son has already given birth to two children, now tell me you don't dare to be the first?"

"Oh!" Zheng Er was ashamed, covered his face and stomped his feet, turned and ran towards the carriage.

Wei Qing hurriedly chased after him and sent Zheng Er to the car.Zheng Er took Wei Qing's hand and said softly: "Be careful, my senior brother has a lot of thoughts, who knows if he really doesn't care or just talking? You must make an agreement with him that when we get married, he must Come. As soon as he agrees, we will report to the master so that he will not go back on his word."

Wei Qing nodded again and again, listening to everyone.He left An Sheng in Zheng Er's car, and returned to Liang Xiao's side, cupping his hands, hesitating to speak.

Seeing Liang Xiao, he couldn't help laughing.He sat down on the rice paddies beside the field, and motioned Wei Qing to sit down.Without hesitation, Wei Qing sat down next to Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao patted his muddy hands. "What's the gain in this battle?"

As soon as the battle was mentioned, Wei Qing's expression changed, adding a bit of confidence and calmness. "You're right, the Huns are not that scary. As long as we have enough war horses, we can regain the frontier fortress of the Qin Dynasty in no time. But..." He paused, "It's easy to defeat the Huns, but it's hard to kill the Huns. Once the Huns People have escaped into the depths of the desert, and it is not so easy for us to pursue them."

"Cut the grass and roots?" Liang Xiao shook his head. "This is not a matter of a day or two, nor is it a matter of a year or two. Long-term plans must be made. However, as long as they can capture Yinshan and drive the Huns to the north of the desert, they will have no threat at all."

Wei Qing nodded. "Yes, I think so too, and His Majesty also has this plan. However, the current dispute is to take Hexi first, and Yinshan first."

Liang Xiao froze for a moment, tilted his head, and glanced at Wei Qing.Wei Qing smiled awkwardly. "I think...it's better to tell you."

Liang Xiao rolled his eyes and thought for a while. "It's better to take Yinshan first. If we take Yinshan, the gates of northern Xinjiang will be in the hands of our army, and the royal court of the Huns will be severely weakened. In Hexi, the main force of the Huns has been lost, and there will be no waves for the time being. I am not worried about the Huns, It's the Qiang people. Mei Shaoru has been away for so long, but he hasn't heard back, so I don't know if it's good or bad."

"There shouldn't be any problem. A few days ago, the imperial court received a memorial from him, saying that he had crossed the West Sea and was about to explore the way to the Western Regions."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more.What he is most worried about now is Mei Gao.It was his idea that Meigao went to Qiangzhong as an envoy. Without the Han army showing off in Hexi, he was not sure whether the Qiang people would take the Han people seriously.Now that he knew that Mei Gao was fine, he was relieved.

"Bo Ming, there is something... I think I should tell you."

"what's up?"

"There may be an accident in the southeast."

"southeast?"

"Minyue."

Liang Xiao was taken aback, and suddenly remembered something.In the original history, Fujian and Yue were conquered twice. Although there were no fights both times, these Yue people were not at ease until the Han Dynasty sent out a large-scale army and completely settled South Vietnam.Either fighting each other, or harassing the border of the Han Dynasty.Moving Dongou to Jianghuai has proved to be a foolish move. The chronic disease in the southeast has not been cured, and it will be a matter of time before something happens.

"What happened to Minyue?"

"General Zheng has a letter from his family, saying that Yu Shan has close contacts with Nanyue and has a heart of disobedience. He advised the King of Minyue to be careful with Yu Shan, but was arranged by the King of Minyue to go to the old place of Dongou. Bo Ming, I am worried about the attention of the court. When we focus on the northern border, accidents will happen in the south."

Liang Xiao pondered for a long time. "What is the imperial court's plan?"

"Minyue's rebellion has not been revealed, and the court can't do anything to avoid changes. However, once changes occur, His Majesty needs to send trustworthy people to guard Kuaiji and respond at any time. I think..."

Liang Xiao was taken aback. "You don't want to recommend me, do you?"

Wei Qing looked at Liang Xiao in surprise. "you are not willing?"

"Nonsense, of course I don't want to." Liang Xiao said angrily, "I'm busy getting married and having children, how can I just leave? Besides, there are so many people in the court, why do I have to go?" He said He waved his hand vigorously, leaving no room for it. "No!"

Wei Qing was speechless.He thought for a while, and then asked: "Do you...do you think that the south is rough and wet, which is not conducive to cavalry galloping, and it is not as refreshing as the grassland?"

"Cheerful? Die quickly." Liang Xiao glared at Wei Qing. "Whether it's the south or the north, I don't go where there is a war." He stood up and stomped the ground under his feet. "There are not only one hundred princes in Chang'an City, but also eighty. They have higher titles than me, and there are countless people in the city than me. Why should I go? They have enjoyed so many years of happiness. It's time to contribute. Let me enjoy it too." Two days of money and leisure, the noble life of cockfighting and lackeys."

After finishing speaking, Liang Xiao pointed at Wei Qing. "Zhongqing, I appreciate your kindness. But if you dare to recommend me in front of the emperor, I will break up with you."

Wei Qing was speechless.He always felt that he owed Liang Xiao, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with this way to compensate Liang Xiao.Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.He looked at Liang Xiao, wondering if Liang Xiao really wanted to have a peaceful life, or he was just angry.

"That, Bo Ming..."

"Okay, okay." Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Zhongqing, I understand what you mean. Don't you just feel that you owe me? How about this, you give me the [-] acres of fertile land that His Majesty rewarded you, and we It's cleared up. How?"

Wei Qing scratched his head and said after a long time: "Okay. Except for the [-] mu of land, all the thousand gold rewarded by His Majesty will also be given to you."

"I don't need a thousand pieces of gold." Liang Xiao said with a chuckle, "I have coveted the three hundred fertile fields beside the Wei River for a long time. Now that there are more and more people eating, there is no surplus food at home. If I want to grow vegetables, I must occupy it. A part of the land, with these [-] acres of fertile land, I will be much more generous. Don’t worry, I will not lose you, and I will take care of the food for your family in the future.”

Wei Qing stared at Liang Xiao and looked again and again, but still couldn't figure out whether Liang Xiao was real or not.However, after giving away the [-] mu of fertile land, the guilt in his heart finally eased.He could finally open his mouth to discuss the date of marriage with Liang Xiao.After hearing his plan, Liang Xiao agreed without hesitation.

"No problem. Later, you go back to the city with me and report this matter to my master. By the way, Zheng's family is in Minyue, which is too far away. Since the master lives in my house, he treats my house as hers." Mother's house."

"This is great." Wei Qing was overjoyed.
